    This works
    Code:
    <InventoryClasses> 
	value = "asd&amp;"
</InventoryClasses>
    Shows..
    <InventoryClasses>value = "asd&"</InventoryClasses>

    Depends on the target platform but I usually avoid named entities in case they are not supported, for example I always use &#169; for the copyright symbol as &copy; is not supported by Safari.

    &amp; is I think pretty well supported though so you'd be safe enough with that.

    Edit: It's &#38; in case you want to use it instead.
